 # camellia
 an experimental, work-in-progress, microkernel based on some of my ideas for privilege separation.
 
-this README is shit, but it's still better than the old one
-
-## the ideas
-### everything is a file, but really now
-All resources are accessed through the filesystem, similarly to Plan 9. `/kdev/ata/0`, `/net/0.0.0.0/listen/tcp/80`, etc.
-This makes it easier to reason about the privileges of a process, as they're all managed in the same way.
-On Linux, `namespaces(7)` lists 8 different process namespaces - 8 separate ways to isolate each part of a process. It's easy to let something slip through.
-
-Compare that to `whitelist /bin/httpd:ro /var/www/:ro /net/0.0.0.0/listen/tcp/80 -- httpd`. It's immediately obvious what httpd can and can't do.
-
-Internally, that works somewhat like Plan 9 namespaces. `whitelist` hijacks all `open()` calls made by its children, and decides if they can pass through.
-This stacks easily. Broadly speaking, processes have full control over their childrens' resource accesses. Filesystem drivers and such use that too.
-This also makes them easy to sandbox: `mount /mnt/ whitelist /bin/fatfs /kdev/ata/0 -- fatfs /kdev/ata/0`.
